Back home after a 10h drive from Dunedin. On the plus side, we discovered that our car can drive itself (to a point) which made the cruise up the Canterbury side a lot easier!

Not much today. Just had some noodles with freshly harvested kale, from my backyard - of which I now have a practically infinite supply. In addition to 1 mandarin tree, 1 lemon tree, 1 feijoa tree, 1 plum tree and 2 avocado trees (albeit small in size at the moment).

I'm going hard on the homesteading lifestyle, to the point where I could theoretically even produce my own prescription medications, if it came down to it. Simply reading about it brings me so much peace of mind. That, and slowly growing my TradeMe store.

Wouldn't call myself a prepper. More of an economic survivalist - because to me, we're already in the apocalypse. 😉

Went to a birthday party, it was good. Unfortunately now I'm listening to hoons in the night.

Does anyone here play the piano? My daughter is starting lessons this term so have been going down the rabbit hole of reviews to see what is the best to get for her to practise at home. I'm probably also going to try and learn it as well. Doesn't look like many sales on them and no one near by selling good second hand ones.
